The Rx bound multicast packets are deferred to a workqueue and
macvlan can also suffer from the same attack that was discovered
by Syzbot for IPvlan. This solution is not as effective as in
IPvlan. IPvlan defers all (Tx and Rx) multicast packet processing
to a workqueue while macvlan does this way only for the Rx. This
fix should address the Rx codition to certain extent.
Tx is still suseptible. Tx multicast processing happens when
.ndo_start_xmit is called, hence we cannot add cond_resched().
However, it's not that severe since the user which is generating
/ flooding will be affected the most.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
